Touchless sanitary equipment is expected to grow at the highest CARG in the and touchless sensing market during the forecast period.
During the forecast period, the segment with the highest CAGR is anticipated to be touchless sanitary equipment. The section of touchless sanitary equipment has been further divided into touchless faucets, touchless hand dryers, paper towel dispensers, flushes, and touchless soap dispensers. Touchless dispenser systems effectively increase hygiene in sanitary rooms by enabling the simple and clean removal of consumables and their hygienic disposal in washbasins and toilets. Commercial houses and public places are where different kinds of people gather at one place and come in contact with one another. Multiple companies, such as Hindware, have combined technology and aesthetics to bring the touchless sanitaryware line.

The healthcare segment is expected to hold the highest CAGR of the gesture recognition market during the forecast period.
The healthcare segment is expected to grow the most during the forecast period. Advanced technologies, such as virtual physical therapy, are being slowly adopted in the healthcare industry for remote patient monitoring. Gesture recognition technology finds its application in the healthcare sector in tracking medication adherence, detecting immobility, observing sleeping patterns, alerting on missed meals and low consumption of liquid, motivating smoking cessation, and even neurological malfunctioning. A Duke University Clinical Research Institute, US, is formulating a virtual rehabilitation solution with the help of which guided physical therapy instructions can be delivered at home to patients undergoing knee replacement surgery. Such initiatives are being taken by companies like Reflexion Health, Inc., (US) to digitize the healthcare industry and create patient-centered care.

The Asia Pacific gesture recognition and touchless sensing market is expected to have a high CAGR during the forecast period.
The gesture recognition and touchless sensing industry is prominent in the Asia Pacific region. Asia Pacific has adopted gesture recognition and touchless sensing items at a faster rate than other regions. The healthcare industry is gradually adopting advanced technologies, such as virtual physical therapy, to empower remote patient monitoring. The use of gesture recognition technology in the healthcare industry can help in medication adherence, detect immobility, observe sleeping habits, provide alerts about missed meals and low liquid consumption, encourage smoking cessation, and even monitor neurological malfunctioning. The introduction of smart technologies, such as gesture control, in the healthcare industry is likely to reduce the expenses imposed on senior and disabled patients. Duke University’s Clinical Research Institute (US) is developing a virtual rehabilitation solution. This innovation would benefit patients undergoing knee replacement (TKR) surgery by delivering guided physical therapy instructions at home.
